Carolyne Roehm: Style & Design: A Constant Thread: Style and Design

Love this book not only about fashion but very personal approach to the author.

Ficou ótimo na composição de decoração

Nice pictures, some inspirations,…

Really enjoyed this beautiful book and will continue to enjoy for years to come. I have been a big fan of Ms. Roehm's for many years but sometimes found that she focused too many books on her love for flowers. This was a delightful change of pace and, for me, answered a lot of questions about her earlier life. My only disappointment was that she did not include more pictures of her home in Paris during the difficult years after her divorce as given the few I have seen it was a stunning residence. She is unquestionably multi talented in so many areas (clothing designer, gardening, interior design, photographer, hostess and taste maker) all driven by her high energy to achieve the best and with the eye of an accomplished artist. She is her own demanding task master but reading between the lines it sounds like she is now willing to take life a little slower since her health scare and hopefully "live in the moment". I hope that she will continue to entertain us all with the ongoing sharing of her interests and her own most beautiful photography. I think part of her appeal has always been that while she is woman that "has it all" she has retained that basic Midwestern sense of kindness, decency and values which makes many of her readers feel a connection to her as a person despite the lavish lifestyle she is clearly able to afford. Given our shared love of dogs I would love to see a small book on her pups in residence in her many home and a book on just on just how she celebrates Christmas. In the meantime, I'm going to pick up Design & Style: A Constant Thread of the umpteenth time and enjoy it as much as I did the first time I opened it. Thank you, Carolyne, for many hours of pleasure! From Another great Westie Lover:)

I can't say this is Ms. Roehm's most fabulous book--they're all fabulous. I can say WOW! Every page is a feast for the eyes, and every photo is so beautiful. I just wish that Ms. Roehm was still designing clothing. I bought so much from her designer line, and I still wear and cherish many items. Elegant and classic is always the best--her clothing, her gardens, and her houses are beautiful examples.
